The Colony
Laurence Fishburne and Bill Paxton are among the stars of this Canadian sci-fi horror film.
It’s 2045, and climate change has pushed the planet into an ice age. Survivors live
underground in a series of colonies. And suddenly, they have another problem – zombies!
Gravity
Starring George Clooney and
Sandra Bullock, Gravity is a
techno-thriller about astronauts
trying to survive in space after
the space shuttle is damaged
during a spacewalk, cutting off
the crew from Earth. It will make
its North American premiere at
the Toronto International Film
Festival.
Escape Plan
With a star-studded cast of
action heroes including Stallone,
Schwarzenegger and Caviezel, in
The Escape a wrongly accused
structural engineer (Stallone)
tries to escape a high-tech,
escape proof prison of his own
design, with help from cellmate
Schwarzenegger.
Ender’s Game
Based on the novel of the same
name, a gifted young boy (Asa
Butterfield) is sent to an
advanced military school to hone
his skills in preparation for a
coming alien invasion. Harrison
Ford and Ben Kingsley also star.
Her
From writer/director Spoke
Jonze, Her is a sci-fi romance
about a lovelorn man (Joaquin
Phoenix) who falls in love with
his computer’s operating system.
Yes, I did see this episode of Big
Bang Theory. But Scarlett
Johansson voices the OS. Kind of
hard to blame him.
